Life and Death on the Steps of Grace Cathedral

1 / 8

Back to Gallery

My walk home from work involves a shortcut up the steps of Grace Cathedral and out through the historic Crocker Gates to Sacramento Street. One day I saw this guy walking up the rail and snapped a picture of it. The next day there was a fence around the property which caused a major detour in my route from the Chronicle to Cow Hollow.
The day after that there was a bulldozers digging up the steps so I decided to make the best of a bad situation by documenting the job, which continued through the summer and into the fall.
